Mark 6:32

Let thy soul walk softly in thee Like a saint in heaven unshod, For to be alone with silence Is to be at home with God.

Quiet hearts are as rare as radium . We need every day to be led by the Divine Shepherd into the green pastures and beside the still waters. We are losing the art of meditation. Inner preparation is necessary to outer service.

And they departed into a desert place by ship privately . KJV

If you have a desert place in your heart to which you must sometimes go, you should depart to it in a ship privately . No man should make a thoroughfare of his desert. Keep your grief for the private ship. Never go into company with an abstracted mind; that is to display your desert.
